This Problem STOPPED My Success

Hey Dean,

I did this a while ago and it has indeed saved me a ton of time.

Yet I still find more and more that I need to get rid of, I have kept a few of the better known marketers so I can see how they do it but I was finding emails from people that were coming in and instead of reading them I had been deleting them for months rather unsubscribing.

Will have to go have another clear out now, might be busy for an hour or so just unsubscribing from them all

All the best,

James

Hi Dean

What a great topic to address. I’ve already done the unsubscribe dance once, and its time for another one. Today!

Another tip that I was given recently was to use an email address just for subscribing to offers - that way they don’t clog up your primary/friends/personalinbox. And you also don’t see any of these offers without opening that email box. You might only do that once a week.

Your presence is always welcome in my email, however. Thanks mate.

Dean, I also cannot get your video to play. I went through an unsubscribe fit a few months and it’s time to do it again. Sometimes you get into a trap where you don’t want to miss anything, but it takes so much time. It’s also very frustrating when you open the e-mail and the marketer is pitching the same products you are or can get from PLR.

Hey guys!!

Thanks for all the great comments, it appears for some reason Firefox is not working with the video… Hmmmm I’ll have to get some advice and get it sorted for you all ASAP.

Maybe try watching it here -

Many thanks

Hi Dean

Once you start on the road of an online career, there are always people that catch your eye and make an inpression, you want to know what else they have got to say, so I am guilty of subscribing to far to many news letters etc..

But that said there are some great tips you can pick up on all subjects, I just try to scan what might be important to my everyday work and just read those, others that may give me some insight I save in seperate folders to read when I have a few minutes (which is not very often, this Internet marketing takes up most of my time at present), one day I will only have to work a couple of hours a day, like all the Guru’s promise.

The ones I dislike are those that send through the same affiliate products day in day out, week in week out, I wish they would just move on with their marketing.

Any way that is my little piece on the subject.

Hi Dean,

Superb content in the video as always.

I can totally relate to it as I made the big step myself at the New Year.

I was getting between 4-500 emails A DAY (waking up to about 250 of them!) and was getting bogged down in reading them and not actually moving my online Business forward.

I took the decision, like you rightly say, to remain on the lists of those marketers who ONLY give useful and interesting content mixed with a smattering of offers (Us marketers have got to pay the bills like everyone else after all!!!) Hence I am very happy to be on your list Dean.

I now only wake up to about 40 odd and its great. I have become instantly more productive and more focussed on 1 project and not working with a scattergun effect!!

But this is the great part. In the 15 months up to 31 Dec I had made just over $1000 online (pretty tough going!). Since 1 Jan I have seen exponential growth and have almost made that already in just 5 weeks!!!!!!! Onward and upward.

I must say that I have kept all the UK marketers on my list as I am planning a giveaway event in a few months for UK marketers only to add a freebie!! Watch this space!!

Keep up the great work Dean. You deserve all you achieve

Welcome !

I understand this program and I SORRY for this problem.

i have Problem with FIREFOX 2. i stay with this Program.

Greetings.

Good advice. One additional situation that I’ve noticed is that we may be very impressed with a product that we’ve purchased but never took action on it and the impression fades away. Then something else comes along and revives our enthusiasm and we purchase it and we’ve already forgotten about the wonderful product that we already own. Often times the new product isn’t even as good. Many of us have very valuable information already sitting on our hard drives. Implementation could make a big difference.

Hi,

Well what can I say, you have to have been watching me. Do you have a cam in my home? I can’t believe what you have said, you have been where we are. You have gone through what we newbie are doing “Like me”.
We that has stopped today. Thank you for the slap in the head, I needed that. Email me anytime, I do feel that you speek from the heart.

Fire fox is working for me just great. Videos are Great. Thank you

Hello Dean,

Your e-mail was the second I opened (Yes first thing in the morning)
Both videos were motivating me to stop goofing off and DO something.
The difference was:The first guy’s looooong video was trying to sell something high priced.
Yours motivated me and had no sales pitch at the end. So now I am interested in not only what else you have to say, but what you are selling that might help me stop goofing off and actually make some money.
Thank you,
Look forward to you next e-mail (you are staying on my list)
Robski

Hi Dean

Your new email with the video link worked and as I suspected you were telling us to be selective about whose email lists we stayed on.

By unsubscribing we free up our email box and have more time for more important things.

I will be unsubscribing form one of the lists you have me on as I get two identical emails, with different headings, every time you do a mailing. Does your autoresponder not select duplicates from different lists so that only one email actually goes out to one subscriber?

Richard

Hi Dean

Another feather and gold star for your hat! Great video and advice for people. I did take that same advice you gave us during one of our Gold webinars and it did open the TIME DOOR and gave me more quality time to do what needs to be done. If anyone is reading my comment on Dean’s advice, all I will say is if you do what he suggested, you will come back to Dean and say Thank You Dean for giving me more time.

Hey Dean, let’s skype soon.

Roger

Go out and make it a $ucce$$ful day!

There is so much crap out there, thanks for the video!

Hello Dean,
Thank you for that, I was about to come to that conclusion myself, but your little video means that i will.
Regards Wolfie(wolfgang)

Hello dear friends Adam and Dean ! Thank you for your good letter. Sorry
I don’t read bad and spam letters, I don’t want to be in all lists and it is very honestly becouse I didn’t love and I don’t love the hell.
I was there. I want only one : please help me to start in your ” Turbo
Traffic System “. I have some problem: 1- I cannot to search A very good
name for my site; 2-yestarday I wanted to open my site in prohostmanagement.com/7…..but your letters getting in other address
I must be to read ? 3- I read your documents and it is a very wonderful system , tell me please , can I do it ? I very want to be your partner and do it.4- I speak English a little but I understand texts and read good so please let me a possibility to talk with you in letters or through support.The best regards. Lyudmila. Russia.

I’ve had two other coaches tell me I needed to spend less time wading through emails and more time building profitable websites and squeeze pages, but I kept opening hundreds of emails a day and clicking links to watch yet another “earth shattering” video and downloading “free” stuff to my hard drive that I’d never look at again. Then I used that as time-wasting habit as an excuse for never getting anything done.

Your video FINALLY got to me, and I immediately unsubscribed from a dozen or so lists that have been sending me nothing but one offer after another. By the end of today, I intend to unsubscribe from about 100 more. I will keep only those that consistently provide content that I can use to further my training, but will delete without opening anything that even looks like an offer, until I get my daily emails down to an hour or less a day.

Thanks for your frankness, Dean.

Joy and abundance,
Cim

Hello Mr Dean Holland,

It is so true we all need to stop looking and start doing!
I have waisted 9months thinking I was busy but in realality I was busy reading junk and being totally unproductive!
I have taken on board lots of your info and as from today starting from scratch and I am building my internet business again …only this time PROPERLEY, this baby is going to be watertight so tonight I am starting with nothing,zero and finnishing with a very brash statement

Remmember my name….You have given me the rocket I needed to say that!

I have said it, I mean what I say I am now very very Excitied!!Man I love this job!

Take care Dean with love and respect from,

Darren Todd

When does your next training program start?

Hey Dean,

Thanks for the video and tips, I used to have this exact same problem, as I’m sure anyone who has ever been interested in IM will have too.

Luckily I saw the light and realised it was draining my time, and I was getting less and less done, and more and more distracted by all the different offers that were being thrown at me.

I now have a different agenda and mainly sign up to people’s lists that interest me, for research purposes.

It’s also a good way of spotting new trends and keeps you ahead of the pack.

Keep up the great work!

Paul

We all do it at one point or another.

And the more lists we add to the pile, the more we feel compelled to check every ten minutes for something new.

In the end… what have we got? A day full of clicking our inbox, and not actually doing anything at all!

I cut my teeth on the old school guru plan when that’s all we knew. I was a regular promo junky sending out whatever came across my desk. It paid well, but I hated it. Finally, I just quit. I even cut off ties with some big names and told them outright no more promos, sorry. Caught some flack for that…but it’s worth it.

Dean is a good friend and we had some long talks about the direction of this market.

I think Dean speaks well for us all in saying, enough is enough.

Let’s cut to the chase and do some real learning and growing.

We need some real content, and I’m proud to say there’s people like Dean out there willing to answer that call.

Hi Dean, I’ve been marketing (in earnest) for a couple of months and I already have two websites up and running. I know I’ve made mistakes with both sites and I probably won’t make much money out of them, but I still see it as part of the learning curve we’re all on.

I’ve gotten into the habit of repeating the mantra, ‘I can be a success, I will be a success, I AM a success!’

Onwards and upwards.

Watching a video like yours is a personal reminder of the due diligence required to be a success.

I thank you for that.

Ray.

Hello Dean:

I too am guilty of information overload.
I am ashamed to say how may emails are in my inbox. I actually maxed out the Hotmail account and could not send out going emails - (only a clue to my delimma).
This information is extremely valuable to me and thank you for the wake up call! I am implementing it immediately.

Regards,
Sherrie Davis

Hi Dean

If one person tells you to do something … he/she may be blowing steam.
If two people tell you to do something … you probably should listen.
If three people tell you to do something … you need to listen.
if more people tell you to do something … why aren’t you listening?

I can’t even get my mailbox empty so I guess I better start deleting them. Besides, if you follow 1/2 dozen people you’ll hear about everything there is going on out there anyway. Most of the info is just a repeat.

Glen Ford

Your video is a timely reminder and I would like to thank you for that.

I have also noticed that some of the marketers are placing the unsubscribe option waaaaaayyyy down the email. One has to scroll for sometime before finding it. I’m not sure if it’s by purpose or accident.

Time to trim the fat and move on.

Cheers.

Hey Dean ,Thanx for the advice . I am overwhelmed with all the junk that I am being sent !!!!!!!!! I have tried to delist but some of the buggers pop up under a different email address. Also some dont show a delist link!
Cheers
Ron

Dean,
I’m sorry but I think you’re looking at this from the wrong perspective. I subscribe to many list as I’m sure you do too, and it’s the smartest thing in the world. Here’s why:
When you subscribe to lists of successful internet marketers guess what you get from them for free…their exact ways of marketing because they are marketing to you. This is the best way to see how the best are being successful, what tools and strategies they are using, and that you can do to make your business more successful.
Instead of looking at these emails as products people are trying to sell you, look at HOW they are trying to sell them.
Best of luck Dean, I really like your stuff.
Kevin

Hi Dean

I agree about the amount of time reading emails can take up. I had stopped opening everything and just scanning and deleting, but I think even that takes up a lot of time, so I’m now going to unsubscribe.

The biggest reason for me to delete? Those emails which say things like “your free download” or “take a look at this” and don’t give you any idea what it’s about. I really dislike that and don’t even bother to open them - If you can’t be bothered to tell me what your email is about, I can’t be bothered to open it as I have much better things to do with my time thank you!

I have to be more productive now as my work contract was recently terminated. I told you in December that I planned to give up my job this year - it’s a bit sooner than I’d planned but now I have to do what I dreamed of doing as I need to earn the money to pay the bills!

I’m just making the plans at the moment to be productive and consistent. This is one thing I can do quickly and easily - perhaps ten minutes at a time. Thanks for the push in the right direction. I hope next time that I will be in Vegas as a successful online marketer.

Hilary

Hey Dean,

I hear ya, loud and clear. Embarrassingly, I have 102,456 unread messages in one of my Yahoo accounts!!!

I am about to take your advice. I spend half my life and income on line, going through my daily e-mails….

I could have created dozens of digital products, just in the past few years alone, instead of playing with my e-mails….

More people should take heed…we are all guilty from time to time.

Thanks for the passionate and personal touch to help us get off our butts…!

Great Content!

Loved it,

andrew

Hey Dean…

The idea is to carefully consider each marketer and their emails after a while.

When you first subscribe to a new AR list, if the marketer knows their business interest, you will get a series of targeted emails, follow ups to the main topic you were interested in.
If that happens, I start reading the emails.

After a while, they finish the series and either they send you to a new offer or start broadcasting.

There are also others who start broadcasting immediately.

In any case, as soon as they start broadcasting, I start the evaluation.

If I get the copycat unmodified swipe emails whenever a new IM launch pops up, I only keep them for about 2-3 messages and when I’m sure they have nothing new to tell me I unsubscribe.

However, if they still send for the launches but at least try to change the subjects if not the body message, too… then I keep them on my Inbox.
Just as Randy Smith said up there somewhere - I need to see what happens in the industry.

The other main category - the marketers who share info, write blog posts etc… (like you’re doing) - are always welcome to my Inbox.

Regarding the necessary time and the personal way I’m managing my Inbox, here it is.
I use Gmail and I use filters and labels there.
I am archiving emails that might be interesting, while I still delete large numbers of them.

BUT

I do so as a reward for a job done in that day.
This helps me keep productive and also keeps me happy when I select the bunch of emails to be deleted on that day and hit the ‘Delete’ button - I feel so elated!

Hey Dean

Great advice - just unsubscribed to your list ~ just kidding! Actually, yours is one of the emails I look forward to receiving. You rarely ask for money or try to sell.

I agree that most of the emails I get are either junk or salesy. I do try to make an effort and unsubscribe, but I guess I am weak!!

Thanks to your video, off to unsubscribe to some more!!

Thanks Dean

I was very pleased to see and hear your video message. Yes. I am a newbie but I also have in excess of 5000 e-mails. When I look back and think of what I do have coming in nly a very are offering REAL HELP to me and I enjoy them, the others are generally BS and only HYPE. Yes I was very vulnerable and purchased many worthless products. My fa,oly has been long saying I am a succker however one day I will get where I need to be because I am vey motivated and willing to learn
If you are or want to be in this business you had bettewr be able to differenciate to helprs from the takers. Thanks for this tid bit as it was a help and you are 10000000000000000000% correct. Have a great day.

Tim Campbell

Found all the comments, but the video wasn’t there..

Dan

HI Dean:
I have far too many emails, too. So, I’ve been thinking of unsubscribing from most of them.. Since I see you guys doing it, I will too.
Thanks
Dan

Dean,

We’ve had this conversation before! At least once, while you were mentoring those of us, in your first online academy. Spot on, Dude!
Got to stop the crap! Sooo easy to get distracted by it all. I will definitely take your advice and unsubscribe and only visit the inbox occasionally, instead of 1st thing everyday.
Thanks,

Mike

Hi Dean,
I can see where your coming from I am a newbie but still get too many emails I need to sit down and keep the ones that deliver good content of course everybody will send out marketing emails but if you have cleaned up your inbox the only ones you get will be worth opening
